64 bit installation problem

mediax · 09-15-2008, 10:54 PM

I've finally managed to download the RegnumOnlineInstall_64 file. I've changed the permissions, but attempting to run the file had no effect until I tried
MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./RegnumOnlineInstall_64
(as mentioned in the sticky).

This produced a Segmentation fault error message

I'm hoping desperately for suggestions !

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) with an Nvidia graphics card.

Please, post the output of:

uname -m

i*86, then you should use the 32bit version (your kernel is 32 bits). If it says something like x86_64 or EMT64 you're using the correct installer.

If it doesn't work, then the download may be corrupt. Try re-downloading it first.

Code:

ian@Einstein:~$ uname -m
x86_64

which at least means I'm using the right version, I suppose.

I'll have another go at the download. If that still fails, I might try installing the 32 bit version on a different machine.

can you post the output error?

Code:

ian@Einstein:~$ MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./RegnumOnlineInstall_64
Segmentation fault
ian@Einstein:~$

Not exactly full of detail . . .

Even if it installs the 64 bit client, the installer itself is a 32 bit application. Do you have the 32 bit compatibility libraries installed?

arlick · 09-16-2008, 10:10 PM

oh shit, i forget to say how to check if a binary is for 32 or 64 bits

, maybe this will help you next time:

type:

file binary_file

and then you will see something like:

ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV)

or

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV)

surak - I've run getlibs on the installer and that tells me I've got no dependencies missing, so I infer from that I do have the compatibility libraries installed. Are there any specific libraries I should check for?

arlick - thanks for that. One thing I genuinely love about Linux is that I'm back to learning stuff every day!

Hmm... Anyway, do the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libopenal0a
sudo apt-get clean

That should install the audio and 32 bits libs.

That's something I had to do to run the game in Debian Sid/Lenny. Taking into account that Ubuntu is a rebranding of Debian Sid, you may also need it.

Also try

Code:

MALLOC_CHECK_=1 ./RegnumOnlineInstall_64
